Wrongful trading: A director who allows a company to continue trading when he knew or should have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that it will avoid going into insolvent liquidation (i.e., creditors were likely to go unpaid in due course) may be required to contribute to the company's assets. This is known as “wrongful trading”.

The court will not make an order for wrongful trading if, knowing there was no reasonable prospect that the company would avoid going into insolvent liquidation, the director took every step with a view to minimising the potential loss to the company's creditors as he ought to have taken.

Directors cannot simply avoid the issue of wrongful trading by resigning. If they conclude that the company cannot continue to trade, they must put in place one of the insolvency procedures as soon as possible to avoid liability.

Согласно словарю МТ, это "неправомерное ведение дел". Или все же речь идет о торговых (коммерческих) операциях?

По аналогии (что является более серьезным правонарушением) - Fraudulent trading:

If, in the course of winding up the company, it appears that any business of the company has been carried on with the intent to defraud creditors, or for any other fraudulent purpose, the liquidator can seek a court declaration that anyone who was knowingly party to the fraudulent business make a contribution to the company's assets. This is known as fraudulent trading. Fraudulent trading is also a criminal offence.

Просто деятельность или торговые (коммерческие) операции?
